PAM radius module and "Prompt" attribute.

[ugengia-reg at yahoo.it]

Hi All,
I'm using the pam_radius_auth 1.3.17 PAM service module and a RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 RADIUS server.

All is working well, but I found a problem when the PAM module receives an Access-Challenge.

Here is the problem: even if the RADIUS server sends a Prompt="No Echo" attribute, my PAM conversation function receives a PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON msg_style instead of a PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF.

As far as I know the Prompt attribute is not mandatory for RFC 2865 compliance, in fact this attribute is specified into RFC 2869 - Radius Extensions.

The question is: will the Prompt attribute be supported in a future release of the PAM service module?

Thanks,
Cesare
